Wavelength Division Multiplexers (WDMs)
Wavelength division multiplexers let you expand the bandwidth of optical communication networks. They can be used at several locations within each network. Clearfield provides WDMs for both singlemode fiber and multimode fiber applications.
A wavelength division multiplexer is used in an FTTH network to combine 1490/1550 wavelengths from the OLT/VLT onto a singlemode fiber for transmission through the communication network, using the 1310 signal for return path. At the receiver end, a WDM is used to separate the wavelengths for reading the information transmitted on each channel.
These devices can be used for coarse wavelength division multiplexing (CWDM, 20 nm channel spacing), dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM, 100 GHz and 200 GHz channel spacing), and broad wavelength band division (e.g., 1310 nm and 1550 nm). DWDM channels are tuned to the ITU wavelength grid. Clearfield offers standard 4, 8, and 16 channel counts, plus custom fabricated wavelength division multiplexers for any channel count between 2 and 16.

Splitters
An optical splitter allows for the transmission of video, audio and data signals from one fiber optic transmitter to multiple receiver units simultaneously by splitting and attenuating the optical power across multiple fibers. Using FBT and PLC technologies that are GR1209/1221 compliant, Clearfield offers split ratios from 1:2 up to 1:64. Custom attenuation ratios on outbound legs of the splitter can be configured to vary depending on network needs.
From the central office out to the fiber distribution hub and the network access point, splitters are used throughout an FTTH network. They are integrated into packaging systems that are specific to manufacturers and depend on the specified architecture.
Splitters can incorporate WDM functionality in a 2 ×16/32 package, allowing for redundancy or wavelength splitting such as is used in an RF overlay environment in a PON deployment. They are used in HFC networks for signal splitting to multiple receiving sites, and for signal coupling in return patch combining networks.
